Most of what you read about natural migraine approaches is written by people with something to sell. We do have something to sell, so treat this page accordingly — but it is also the one subject on this site where we can point you to genuine clinical evidence rather than asking you to take our word for anything. That is worth being precise about.
What the research supports
Behavioural approaches to migraine prevention have been studied for decades. A 2019 review in American Family Physician, Migraine Headache Prophylaxis, puts it plainly: relaxation training, thermal biofeedback combined with relaxation training, electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback, and cognitive behavioural therapy “also have good evidence,” and behavioural treatments are described as effective options for migraine prevention.
Two honest qualifications on that.
First, the review rates behavioural treatments B — meaning inconsistent or limited-quality patient-oriented evidence — not A. You will find older sources citing Grade A; those rest on guidelines from 2000, and the more recent assessment is more cautious.
Second, and more importantly, this evidence is about prevention, not stopping an attack in progress, and it is generally studied alongside standard care rather than instead of it. The same review notes behavioural therapy may be combined with preventive drug therapy for additional improvement.
How that kind of biofeedback works
The original version of this page contained one genuinely good sentence, so we have kept the idea: biofeedback is not really a treatment. It is a training programme, designed to help someone develop influence over responses that normally happen without any input from them.
In practice, equipment measures something you cannot ordinarily sense with precision — the temperature of your hands, muscle tension in the neck and scalp, breathing rate — and displays it back to you in real time. Over a course of sessions, usually with a practitioner, you learn to recognise the state you are in and to shift it deliberately.
The link to headache is muscle tension and stress. Tension contributes to pain, pain produces more tension, and the cycle sustains itself. Learning to interrupt it is a skill, and once learned it stays with you.
Where Oberon fits — and where it does not
This is the part most companies in our position would blur, so we will be direct instead.
The research above concerns thermal and EMG biofeedback: measuring skin temperature, muscle activity or blood-volume pulse, and training a person to change them. Oberon is a bioresonance, or NLS, system. It works on a different premise — that tissues emit faint electromagnetic activity at characteristic frequencies, and that presenting selected frequencies back may encourage a shift toward a more settled pattern.
Those are not the same thing, and the evidence for one does not transfer to the other. Bioresonance is not part of mainstream medicine, it does not appear in migraine guidance, and the premise above is a theory rather than a demonstrated mechanism. If you are specifically looking for the approach with clinical support behind it for migraine, ask a headache specialist about thermal or EMG biofeedback — not about us.
We would rather tell you that than have you buy a system expecting something it was not built to do.
Other things people look into
The original page made confident claims about chiropractic care, salt intake and food allergies. We have removed all of them, because we are not qualified to make them and the figures quoted could not be sourced.
One item is worth keeping in a plainer form. Many people with migraine find it useful to keep a headache diary — noting when attacks begin, what was eaten, how much sleep there was, and what was happening at the time — because patterns are hard to see from memory alone. It is a low-cost thing to try, and a specialist can help you interpret it. Note that a food trigger is not the same as a food allergy; those are different mechanisms, and conflating them is a common mistake.
What we do not claim
- Oberon is not a medical device, is not FDA-approved, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent migraine or anything else.
- It is not a substitute for seeing a doctor. Migraine has red flags that need proper assessment, and a sudden change in your headaches is a reason to be examined, not scanned.
- It is not a reason to change medication. Preventive and acute migraine medication is adjusted by the person who prescribed it.
- Experiences differ from one person to the next, and we make no promises about results.
Oberon is a non-invasive, frequency-based wellness system used for relaxation and general wellbeing. If that is what you are after, our walkthrough of the scanning process shows what a session involves, and the product page has the specification and pricing.
